Over the years, the relevance of libraries
has increased as people tend to seek qualitative information on any
subject. This is only possible by visiting any library as the books and
journals have been written after due consultations. Kanpur has some popular libraries in the public and private
sector which have been catering to the needs of the book lovers in the
city.

Central Library Kanpur

Central Library in Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is a premium library which has been in existence since the inception of the institute in 1959. An interesting aspect about the Central Library in IIT is that the same was built by seeking help from over nine American universities. The library has an impressive collection of over 2 lakh books apart from a range of technical journals, reports, thesis and catalogues. The library opens on weekdays from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. In case any other outsider wants to seek any assistance from the library resources, the same can be accessed only by consulting the librarian at the Central Library.
